O quadrado mágico de Benjamin Franklin
No full textBenjamin Franklin (1706-1790) foi jornalista, cientista, inventor, homem de estado e diplomata. (...) Benjamin Franklin era um entusiasta de quadrados mágicos. Chegou mesmo a criar os seus próprios quadrados. O mais conhecido é o quadrado 8 por 8 apresentado na imagem. Numa carta publicada em 1769, Franklin refere: "Na minha juventude, divertia-me a construir quadrados mágicos, de modo a que a soma dos números de cada linha, de cada coluna e de cada uma das duas diagonais principais fosse sempre a mesma; com o passar do tempo, conseguia criar quadrados mágicos, de tamanho razoável, tão depressa quanto conseguia escrever os números nas suas linhas e colunas; mas, por não estar totalmente satisfeito com estes quadrados, que eram demasiado fáceis, impus a mim mesmo o desafio de construir outro tipo de quadrados mágicos, que apresentassem propriedades mais ricas e que constituíssem, assim, um maior estímulo à curiosidade."
Em relação ao quadrado mágico da imagem, são utilizados todos os números naturais, do 1 ao 8x8=64, uma e uma só vez. Além disso, a soma dos números de cada linha e de cada coluna é sempre igual a 260, a constante mágica. Existem muitas outras formas de obter o valor 260 (...

[Petition to King George II from Benjamin Franklin].
No full textPetition of Benjamin Franklin on Teedyuscung's complaint, presented February 1759. It seems very ill from Mr. [illeg.] that delay of satisfaction is dangerous when the papers [illeg.] not yet laid before His Majesty after appeal [illeg.] but wish for the appointment they [illeg.] Header: To the King's most excellent Majesty in Council. The humble petition of Benjamin Franklin, Esq. agent appointed to the Assembly of Pennsylvania. In the past, the Indians were willing to sell land to the English and retreat westward. They were not deprived of land without their consent and they were paid for it. Later, when they felt aggrieved, they violently attacked the settlers. It was hard to get them to explain their anger, but finally there was a Council to make a treaty. The Indians decided they wanted your Majesty to review all the deeds, etc. to decide the bounds and limits of the lands sold to the English, so please use your great wisdom to do just that. Signed, Benjamin Franklin
